Most Decorated U.S. Warships in World War II-- Part 1

From Wikipedia.

In the last post, I mentioned that the USS Russell (DD-414) received one of the most Battle Stars of any U.S. warship during World War II.  I got to wondering what the numbers were of those receiving more and Wikipedia was good enough to answer that question for me.
